Playing KOF XIII's tutorial mode

>playing KOF XIII's tutorial mode

>then they pull this shit on you

Seriously what the fuck. I'm only just learning how to play a fighting game. Don't ask me to do Kyo's Ura Hyaku-Hachi Shiki Orochinagi all of a sudden like that.

I don't even know how to pronounce it. They don't even list the motion for it so you have to look it up. You can't complete the tutorial until after you've done Kyo's Ura Hyaku-Hachi Shiki Orochinagi, which probably isn't even made up of real words and is some random gibberish thrown together. I thought I was playing this game IN ENGLISH.

This is how SNK is keeping casuals out of fighting games.

KoF is tuff. Probably the hardest 2D series that had any lifespan that wasn't SF or MK.

This might sound outlandish to you but bear with me: You can check the character's moveset by pressing start.

I know it's hard and all to discover this incredibly hidden feature, but please have patience.

You know that there is a movelist in game right?

Which button is that?

>He can't read or even do the 裏百八式 大蛇薙

100年早い

He has a point in saying it, if i'm understanding it properly. Its odd it doesn't get listed underneath the tutorial text like a lot of games had started doing a while back.

But is this a KoF thread?

Cardman is my fighterfu. Shame he'll probably not come back.

What is a movelist and where do you find it?

Wait, better yet, why am I playing "Where's the movelist?" I thought I was playing a fighting game.

There's no reason why it shouldn't be explained in the tutorial.

Remove Okinawa

And the reason it wasn't listed in the tutorial, is?

The tutorial doesn't tell you you have to use a controller either. It says "press thing" but not where to press it. It doesn't also tell you how to exit from the game, how to go into the options, how to turn your system on and off, etc.
Also it gives you the command for the move right after the fucking message.

git gud

Did the goverment put something in your water or you are this stupid every day?

Are you Caucasian or stupid

At least they're bringing back my favorite Mexican

That's not even the good part.

>he doesn't know Reverse Style 108 Great Serpent Wave

git gud

Rose Bernstein a qt

Took me twenty fucking minutes to do that shit, i didn't think they wanted you to destroy your d-pad THAT fast.

Post Athena.

Fire! Fire! Psycho Soldier!

No, we post Yuri.

Angel?

I tried for 30 minutes and gave up.

Do you need an arcade stick for KOF? I'm playing on a pad, but I can't do all those crazy drive cancels fast enough.

Yuri.

Leona.

Not draw that well but it's my favorite pic of Angel

Yuri.

Kula

>d-pad
fuck off to /r/gaming

Yuri.

Aight

If you think a stick makes shit better, go eat a dick, you ain't ever gonna be good enough for EVO anyways.

Athena.

At least they probably talk about games.

Yuri.

God fucking dammit I'll uninstall.

>Thinking using a stick changes anything
Unless you are playing characters that require pianoing or some shit you can easily play fighters with Pad no problem

Athena.

Why? You don't have to do the tutorial.

IIRC that game doesn't tell you which button to press and only "kick" or "punch" or things like that, right?

Yuri.

The game gives you the command, user is just being retarded.

Faggots like OP should be grateful for fighting games nowdays have tutorials.

Nope.

A,B,C and D.

Low Punch, Low Kick, High Punch, High Kick.

Learn to use someone simple like Athena first. She has similar comands to Ryu.

A-THE-NA.

Mian

Yuri

>Sup Forums tries playing fighting games

Nakoruru

YURI.

Should have made it clear that I was talking about menues and not fighting itself (which is okay). Can be confusing at times, but maybe I'm thinking of a different game. It's been a while.

But while we're at it, what's the general opinion on Elisabeth? I had fun playing her.

She's never coming back, is she?

>21 years old.
>still acts like a kid.

Athena also takes the cake too, she is 18 and still dresses a sailor fuku.At least Kyo just admits that he dropped the school.

She is perfect.

Shut up.

OP as someone genuinely trying to get into fighting games myself over this summer sale, do what I did and pickup skullgirls. Base game is like $2 and has a pretty great tutorial. Some of it I can't do yet and I can just skip to the next step.

I have literally never played a fighting game before, and I'm learning steadily. By no means will I be good, but I can atleast understand things thanks to it.

I never played her.

But i dislike counter-specials.
Athena.

>pic related
>yuri
At least she doesn't dress in a sailor fuku

>Robert getting cucked by Ryo

SF fags everyone

Do not listen to this person.

What did he mean by this?

Should I get XIV even though I'm shit at fightan' games right now?
If it helps, I can actually perform a dragon punch and not whine that it looks too hard to input.

decide for yourself moron

Yuri!

It's pretty good.

You should just use someone with simple inputs like Athena, Kyo or Yuri.

Athena.

Have you considered gitting gud, OP? Executing combos is the easiest part of any fighting game

All fighters are entry level fighters, multiplayer isn't however.

anyone have links to the ceo footage for XIV? last i heard it was getting taken down before i had the chance to watch any of it

Nice meme.

>pantsu

Stay out of the genre if you're too stupid to come to terms with this.

No game is going to wave a move list in your face 14 installments in.

Press start.

youtube.com/watch?v=r75Lz1Drp8g&fmt=35


More or less, KoF have some stuff like hop and some other minor mechanics. But the basic mechanics is pretty much the same since 96-97.

It's not a good entry level fighting but still fun to play.

But that's how PC game should handle showing inputs.
I have PS3/360/PC stick, I know which button is A on xbox/X on PS3, but PC sees it as button [2].
So if game starts to show me random numbers, like Injustice did, I'm totally lost.

Injustice gets additional bullshit points for having quick time events with that bullshit.

Especially with fighting games where people use all kinds of input devices, the developer shouldn't make any assumptions.

No one likes a mad shitter, OP.

>associating the waifufags who comprise everyone otb who actually plays that piece of shit SFV with actual SF players

>I have never sucked cock before but I'm learning steadily

...

I don't give a shit about the competitive scene you cuck, I'm using the game as a learning tool, then likely to try out other games once I've got a handle.

Dude if you really want to adapt to the games AND enjoy your purchase, just dick around in SP for a while enjoying the shitty AI before doing so becomes a liability to your skill level (which it doesn't yet, since you're ass regardless)

Then hop online and get bodied and start trying to learn from your mistakes even though you'll probably start out getting stomped too hard. But this is normal and a place to work from

Then you can go one of two routes: start watching Youtube videos of pros who use your character and literally just copy them like a total meme slut faggot, or hold that L to your chest and find your own ways of adapting around your personal shortcomings and accept the fact that some people are just better than you. But don't run away, keep playing them if you find someone really good, and do your best to beat them for as long as you can

A daily reminder Blazblue/Virtual Fighter4:EVO/Skullgirls have the best tutorial mode.

Serious question honestly. Why Kyo's moves have so complicated names? is there a lore reason?

or was just to complement the reasoning back in 94 to have such retarded inputs for some of the moves.

Your just an EOP plebian, continue being retarded.

It always had that name. It just says: 108 Shiki Orochinagi.

There is a lore reason. Orochinagi is so named because it's what he used to defeat Orochi back in the first story arc.

KoF actually has (or used to have) kinda cool lore reasons for changes in actual movesets, like Iori injuring Kyo's hands so that he stopped being able to use ground fireballs and got rekkas instead

It's bad advice.

this tee bee eigtch

Not a lot of what you will learn in Skull Girls will carry over into other FGs. It has a lot of its own esoteric systems.

That shit is not hard to learn.

Of course, multiplayer will always be hard to play, because better players will always stomp the weaker. That's just the nature of competitive play, but flicking the stick upward to hop and buffering supers to combo into them are not hard.

Besides,
>hardest 2D series
>what is GG and MvC2?

killer instincts is really good too

holy shit I hope you are baiting

>multiplayer will always be hard to play, because better players will always stomp the weaker

Where's "start"? What is even "start" on this thing? The tutorial should show me where this "start" thing is! I thought I was playing a fighting game, not a starting game!

the bait is so bad I won't even spare a reaction pic

seriously man, at least bad trolling attempts should be funny

The tutorial didn't teach me how to troll.

Actually the real reason why it's called Orochinagi (Great Serpent Mower) is because it's a reference to Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the legendary sword which Susanoo found from within Orochi's body. He gave it to Amaterasu and she gave it to a Japanese emperor who was later lured onto a field which was set on fire by a traitor. The emperor used the sword to cut down (mow) the grass and found out that it can also control winds. He used the wind to move the fire towards the traitor and burned him.

Who's this drill goddess?

okay, nice one

>like Iori injuring Kyo's hands so that he stopped being able to use ground fireballs and got rekkas instead

That's not the reason, Kyo was attacked by Goenitz before 96 and got hospitalized. He then decided to learn new techniques because the old ones didn't work against Goenitz.

casual filter the tutorial

Good tutorial doesn't filter casuals, good tutorial teaches them play properly.
KoF XIII's tutorial does jack and shit.

>playing a Japanese fighting game
>surprised to see Japanese words
This never bothers Mexicans. You gringos are whiny bitches.

Using a stick does make executing your moves much easier. You might as well not even play the game if your logic is "well I can't beat those Chinese guys anyway, so I'm not going to bother putting in any effort". That's like saying "I can't become a pro bowler, so I'll just wear my tennis shoes whenever I do play"
So why is that guy having problems? The build quality is pretty low on a regular PS3 or 360 controller and pulling off longer combos is kind of hard in something like KoF. I guess it is fine for Skullgirls, though.
